I run S.u.S.E. 7.2, KDE and Ximian Gnome. I have had no trouble connecting with the Internet through my employer's network until recently.

Something changed. Either your employer changed the network, you changed something on the Linux box, or both. Do you know of anything that changed recently? Cheers, -nick

I made no changes. If there were network changes, they should have shown up on the OS2 side of my computer, shouldn't they have? Thanks Dennis J. Tuchler Professor of Law 3700 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, Mo. 63108 314-977-2793
Hi I hope they have not made any changes to the internet connection?? First, have a look what "ifconfig" command says.. It should say at least 2 interface, "lo" is the loopback, then if You have ethernet, it should say something like "eth0 ...". Here is my output from it: (short-form of it) ----- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A7:08:61:49 inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:a7ff:fe08:6149/10 Scope:Link lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ----- So this shows that I have eth0 up and running... If You don't have that, then the network driver is not loaded... zast2 is able to detect most ethernet cards automatically... If it is loaded, then check "route" command, that You have default route up and running.. here is mine again: ------ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default hepe 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ------ Here we learn, that default-route is to go thru a gateway (hepe), so all my queries to net goest to that box, if it does not go to network 192.168.1.0/255, which is my local network here. (hepe equals 192.168.1.1 in my setup) I would think that You have same kind of setup. Routing is set up usually automatically, but can be controlled with /etc/route.conf Next thing is to check if DNS is working.. You can check it with command "nslookup www.yahoo.com". It should give many IP-addresses.. If not, the the nameserver setup is wrong, and can be configured with zast. Without more information I can't really help You more... Jaska. Viestissä Maanantai 5.

Hi
Hi Thanks for your detailed response. I have answered your questions below and wait for further help
I hope they have not made any changes to the internet connection??
If they did, it didn't show up on my OS2 connection to the same network

The output is similar to what you describe. I attach the output of that command
then check "route" command, that You have default route up and running.. here is mine again:
Here's a problem, My Route command produced Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface As you see, no entries. Also, there was no route.conf file in /etc
Next thing is to check if DNS is working.. You can check it with command "nslookup www.yahoo.com".
In answer to this command, I got Can't find server name for address 165.134.1.25 no response from server Can't find server name for address 165.134.20.3 no response from server Now, the configuration is supposed to be automatic, using DHCP. The addresses are also found in my OS2 tcpip configuration file under Lan Nameserver Addresses. So, they must be right (after all, the connection works under OS2). Thanks again Dennis J.
